A humanitarian shipment carrying 88 containers of emergency relief supplies has left Georgetown for earthquake-hit Venezuela, with officials describing the operation as a regional effort supported by seven Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states.

The Motti vessel, provided by the BK Group of Companies, left BK Wharf in Kingston, Georgetown on Tuesday carrying emergency supplies, including 300 water tanks, pharmaceuticals, food, cleaning materials and two pieces of earth-moving equipment.

The shipment forms part of a humanitarian response initiated by President Irfaan Ali and supported by seven CARICOM countries, the Guyanese private sector and members of the Venezuelan community living in Guyana.
